ContactOffice released the possibility to activate two factor authentication to its private label customers. This additional layer of authentication security answers the needs of several of our private label customers that attach a lot of importance to security and encryption such as the OBFG (Order of French and German speaking Belgian lawyers).

What is two factor authentication :

The two factor authentication (aka 2FA) is a technology that provides a stronger security/identification of users by means of the combination of two different components : something that the user knows (username and password) and something that the user possesses (a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) for mobile app. See below).

To use the two-factor authentication method, you will need to install a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) application on your smartphone. This app generates a code that changes after a certain period of time.

In case you want to test two factor authentication go to mailfence (powered by ContactOffice) where the functionality is released
